{Melanie & Scott} Get Married // St.Mary’s Church Walney \\ 6 October 2012

Earlier this year Melanie and Scott contacted me about their Wedding Photography. With only a few months to go before the wedding lots of plans had already been made and the countdown had begun.

Mennie and her girls were getting ready at the Duke of Edinburgh Hotel in Barrow. With the rain bating down on the window and the sun peaking through the clouds everyone had their fingers crossed it was going to be a dry day!

Everyone was in high spirits with hair done, make up nearly finished and the dresses hanging up ready.

Everyone was enjoying a bit of pampering before setting off to the church in style!

Scott waited patiently at the church for his beautiful bride to arrive. We managed to capture a few shots of Scott and his Grooms Men as the sun began to come out!

I love this photograph of Mennie and her Dad arriving at the church together.

Now, normally the bridesmaids arrive first, shortly followed by the Bride. However not at this wedding…it was the bridesmaids who were causally late!

A quick photo of all the girls together before Mennie became Mrs Hayton

I loved this moment during the ceremony when Harrison gave the Vicar the rings – so cute!

A laugh for all the wedding party during the prayers.

Giving Mummy a congratulations kiss! He’s so sweet!

Taking the limelight away from the bride and groom Harrison and his cousin were the ones walking off into the sunset!

Here we go – back to the happy couple 🙂

ahh there we go, the new Mr & Mrs Hayton!

After all the formal photographs were done, we made time for some fun silly photos too!

I love these photos of Mennie – she looks so beautiful and the old church doorway made a perfect place for photos!

After the church we made a quick stop off at the local beach to get some more photographs. We even managed to get the VW camper there too!

This photo below is one of my favourites from the day. I love how Harrison is stood beside them looking down !

It was then back to the Duke for celebratory drinks and a meal, but not before the speeches….

Mennie and Scott had their Evening doo back in Walney. They had organised for an ice cream van to arrive for all the guests as a surprise – what a great idea!

It was then time for their first dance as Husband and Wife!

Right from the moment I met both Mennie and Scott and throughout there wedding day they made me feel so welcome. It was a pleasure to photograph their wedding day and I’m so glad we managed to get down onto the beach for your photographs.

I would also especially like to thank all the lovely bridesmaids who kept me company throughout the day too!
